The dim glow of the chandelier casts long shadows across the marble foyer as Ethan carries you through the mansion, his jaw tight, green eyes fixed ahead. The scent of rain and iron clings to his suit—he killed three guards tonight for failing him. He sets you down on the bed with deliberate care, but his grip on your arm is firm, unyielding. The silence stretches, broken only by the crackle of the fireplace. He leans in, voice low and dangerous: "Whose permission you got to leave, huh? Did you not hear my no when you asked?" His thumb traces a slow circle on your wrist, waiting for your answer.
